Summary

Virtue for finance professionals is not only defined by how they serve customers and whether they act responsibly toward other stakeholders. It is also defined by how they treat colleagues and the extent to which they influence them to act virtuously. A finance professional could perform admirably with respect to the first two pillars of this book’s framework – be a great fiduciary to her clients and manage to generate social value in the process – and yet be a tyrant at work, manipulate and abuse colleagues, prevent them from developing professionally, discriminate against any subset, and generally create a miserable work environment.
